2017 Volvo XC60 2.4L Diesel · DS17 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-06 at 110,295 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an earlier test on the same date at 110,294 miles showed a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unreported minor faults. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident in the history, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the last three MOTs implies the car has been maintained to a basic standard, though the recent failure raises questions about the reliability of the records. The vehicle’s mileage of 110,295 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 12,255 miles annually, which is above the typical usage for its age. The MOTs show a steady increase in mileage, with gaps of 14,478 miles between 2022-04-28 (70,534 miles) and 2023-04-19 (85,309 miles), followed by 14,578 miles to 99,887 miles by 2024-05-09. This pattern suggests consistent use, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. The lack of significant mileage fluctuations or extended periods of inactivity reduces the risk of corrosion or component degradation from standing. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension, focusing on coil springs and bushings, given the high mileage and potential for wear. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are common issues in vehicles with heavy usage. Structural integrity should also be verified, particularly around the chassis and body panels, to confirm no hidden rust or damage. The absence of recorded defects in recent MOTs does not eliminate the need for a physical assessment, as some issues may not trigger immediate failures but could affect long-term reliability.
